Replace any character with any character

Replace any common in game character(s) with nothing, or any other actor in realtime. Deathsquitos a speciality, but it's an open world of opportunity to mix things up in.  Replace everything with Chicken to remember the MW2019 "enemy at the chickens" callout.

[ Character == Actor ]

Installation 

This solution depends on BepInEx for Valheim which must be installed first. Unzip the download file and copy SKKReplaceAnyActor. DLL to the BepInEx/Plugins folder.

Configuration

A config file BepInEx/config/SKKReplaceAnyActor.cfg is created on the first run. Default configuration is active, but it does nothing to your game until you feed it some prefab names.

PluginEnabled [ true | false ] totally disables all mod functions without having to remove from load order.

DebugOutput [ true | false ] this also traps F12 hotkey to pop an on screen actor count.

PrefabNamesToRemove [ None | Blank | Comma separated list of one or more case sensitive actor prefab names from the ValidPrefabNames list ]

RemoveChance [ Integer from 1 to 100 ] the chance that an actor will be removed. Use  -1 for totally random.

ReplacementPrefabNames  [ None | Blank | Comma separated list of one or more case sensitive actor prefab names from the ValidPrefabNames list ] these are created totally standard matching the star level and hunt player/patrol AI of the original actor. As many biome actors are hostile to other biomes they will mostly attack each other if spawned out of biome. This does not replace event spawned actors to avoid breaking the event.

ReplaceChance [ Integer from 1 to 100 ] the chance that a replacement will be generated. Use  -1 for totally random.

ReplacementMultiplier [ Integer from 1 to madness, default 1 ]  All testing was done with values of 1 or 2. Setting higher will need the LoadedActorLimit increased if your system has the minerals for it.

LoadedActorLimit [ Integer from 1 to madness, default 48 ]  The limit of instatiated actors in the active area around the local player. Once this is reached actors will still be removed, but replacements will not be generated until existing actors can be destroyed. If Notifications are enabled there are on screen warnings when replacements sus
